Have you signed up to join Mini MADE yet?

Mini MADE - our series of relaxed and high quality table-top craft markets - will start here at Atelier Beside the Sea on Saturday 6th April.

Brought to you by the organisers of MADE London and MADE Brighton, each market will host a changing roster of 20 makers selling different crafts throughout our three arches and, weather permitting, outside too.

If you are a local maker or hail from further afield, and no matter the stage of your career, if you fancy visiting and selling in Brighton, drop us a line.

Dates for 2024 are April 6th, May 11th, June 8th, July 6th, August 10th, and September 7th.

Vist minimade.co.uk for more details and to apply.

Lustre for life

We've had a restock of beautiful lustreware vases and bowls from the East Sussex pottery of Jonathan Chiswell Jones.

Decorated with hand-painted fish and elegant dragonflies, in iridescent blues, golds and corals, each jewel-toned piece is a glorious one off.

The full collection of these highly collectable pots have yet to make it on to our website, so come and visit us in the gallery to be among the first to view.

Big big energy

There are just four spaces left on our large scale drawing class with Katie Sollohub on the 13th and 14th April.

These classes are always popular, so sign up now and spend two days channelling your creativity through huge sweeping gestures, using coloured inks, charcoal, chalk and your own 8x4ft drawing board.

Don't miss out and check out the full line up of Katie's courses at ABtS here.

It's always great to meet to meet artists and makers for a relaxed catch up over coffee and a croissant, and so we'd like to invite you to join us for our next Creative Breakfast on Monday 4th March.

Come out of the studio and share your knowledge and experience with other people working in a similar way.

We meet in the gallery on Brighton Beach between 9.00am - 11.00am, and offer a continental breakfast with tea, coffee, delicious Flour Pot Bakery pastries, granola and fruit.

It's a very pleasant way to start the day!

Book your place now.

Don't forget it's Shrove Tuesday on the 13th, and we hope you have a flippin' good time tossing pancakes around the kitchen.

We aren't open on Tuesdays at the moment, but we look forward to seeing you here at Brighton's home of contemporary craft and making 11am- 5pm Friday - Monday, and 24-7 online. See you soon.
